LANCASTER, Nov. 20 – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission will hold an in-person public hearing about PPL’s proposed rate increase for Manheim Township at 6 p.m. Dec. 11 in the Manheim Township Public Library Morgan Center, 595 Granite Run Drive.

The hearings are being held due to PPL’s planned substantial rate increases. Under the proposal:

  • The total monthly bill for a residential customer using 918 kWh per month would increase from $177.01 to $189.40 (7%).
  • The changes would produce an overall annual revenue increase of $356.3 million (33.4%).

“PPL’s proposed rate hike will have a serious impact on our residents’ wallets,” Rivera said. “I encourage residents to let the PUC know what these significant rate hikes will mean for their household finances.”

If residents cannot attend in person, they are encouraged to attend one of two telephonic hearings on Monday, Dec. 15:

  • Telephonic hearing #1 will begin at 1 p.m.
  • Telephonic hearing #2 will begin at 6 p.m.

The call-in information for the two telephonic hearings is:

  • Toll-free Conference Number: 866-421-8851.
  • PIN Number: 66640466.

People who wish to testify at a telephonic hearing are encouraged to pre-register by 4 p.m. on Dec. 11. Failure to pre-register could result in missing the chance to testify to the PUC judges.

To pre-register, those interested can call Pamela McNeal at 215-560-4228 or email pmcneal@pa.gov and provide the following information:

  • First and last name.
  • The hearing for registering.
  • A phone number to call into the public input hearing.
  • A phone number to be reached prior to the hearing if needed.
  • Email address.

Those who need help pre-registering to testify can have someone register for them, but they will need to provide the PUC judges with all the information listed above.

If more than one person in a household would like to testify, one person may pre-register for other individuals in the same household by providing McNeal with the information for each individual planning to testify.
